Being a Vet is an honourable profession, apparently well paid ???
One Sunday, while counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week!
The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.
"I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate," he stated.
"Why yes," she replied, "Every week my son sends me money and I give some of it to the church."
The pastor replied, "That's wonderful, but $1,000 is a lot of money. Are you sure you can afford this?"
The elderly woman answered, "Oh, yes! He sends me $10,000 a week."
The pastor was amazed. "Your son is very successful. What does he do for a living?"
"He is a veterinarian," she answered.
"That's an honorable profession, but I had no idea they made that much money," the pastor said.
"Where does he practise?"
The woman answered proudly, "In Nevada. He has two cat houses, one in Las Vegas, and one in Reno."

The madam of a brothel has a problem, so she goes to a local priest. "I have two talking female parrots," she tells him. "All they can say is 'Hi, we're prostitutes. Do you want to have some fun?'"
"That's awful," the priest agrees, "but I have a solution to your problem. I have two male parrots whom I've taught to pray and read the Bible. If we put your parrots with mine, I believe yours will stop saying that awful phrase and will instead learn to recite the word of God."
The next day, the madame brings her parrots to the priest's house and puts them in with the male parrots, who are holding rosary beads and praying in their cage.
"Hi, we're prostitutes," say the females. "Do you want to have some fun?"
One male parrot looks at the other and squawks, "Close that Bible, Frank! Our prayers are answered!"
